Prepare and manage people documentation, letters and reports
Support the creation, review and update of people policies and processes across multiple geographies
Review, collate and summarise employee survey data, producing clear reports to support people initiatives and decision-making
Provide general administrative and operational support to the People Team as needed
What You'll bring
You'll bring a strong sense of organisation, care and curiosity, with the ability to support people operations in a growing business.

The ability to manage administrative and operational tasks accurately across the employee lifecycle
Strong attention to detail, particularly when working with employee data, payroll inputs and compliance requirements
Good organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities
Clear written and verbal communication skills, with a professional and approachable style
Comfort using digital tools such as HR systems, Microsoft Office and Google Workspace
An understanding of confidentiality, data protection and the importance of handling People information responsibly
